The statue of the dictator was ______ over by the crowds.

According to ancient Greek legend the ______ set a riddle which no one before Oedipus was able to answer.

中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切，在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占着一个比例较为恰当的地位，而非统治万物的主宰。因此我们的苦闷，基本上比西方人为少为小；因为苦闷的强弱原是随欲望和野心的大小而转移的。农业社会的人比工业社会的人享受差得多，因此欲望也小得多。况且中国古代素来以不滞于物，不为物役为最主要的人生哲学。

Science and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life.At the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet.Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer. Still, 911 and avian flu remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world.Our world is bursting with knowledge—but desperately in need of wisdom. Now, when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd our essays, and when individual lives grow more crazy, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs.For all these reasons I believe—and I believe even more strongly today—in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.

What is drug? Most people probably think there is a perfect simple answer to this question. In fact, if one conducts a quick survey on any street corner, one finds that, according to vast majority of people, there are two groups of drugs: those prescribed by doctors and those people take for non-medical use. As medicine and the medical professions are generally self-respectful, there aren’t any objections to the use of prescribing drugs. What most people don’t realize is that though prescribed drugs are usually beneficial, they can also present a serious problem. There were many people addicted by tranquillizers before doctors began to prescribe them: now there being literally millions who depend on them. An acceptance of the use of drugs for non-medical reasons is largely a matter of a culture. Some Eastern people think the use of alcohol with horror, mainly as a result of religious upbringing. However,these same people freely use marijuana without a second thought, and this, in turn isn’t accepted in western culture which accepts alcohol. In most western societies, the tea-or-coffee-break is now a part of life, and huge quantities of these drinks are consumed daily.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

1. Not satisfied that his opinion should pass without contradiction, he was determined to have it by the suffrage of everyone in the company.2. I should prefer the title of ancient philosopher, “a citizen of the world’ to any other whatever.3. It works by eliciting the general principles which apply to the facts, as they exist, and then by an intellectual survey of possibilities which are consistent with those principles.4. They pay as much to the understanding of a man of an estate, as of a man of learning.5. Nay, there is no stand or __ in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies.

On a single weekend last month, there were three serious highway accidents in this country that (1) teenaged drivers. One of the result of this (2) weekend was a (3) public demand that high school students should be required to (4) a course of driving-training before receiving their driver’s licenses. (5), most of the high schools in this area have offered driver-training courses for many years. But these courses have always been (6), (7) required; and sometimes only a small fraction of the student body has actually been (8) in the courses. It would be an excellent idea, as I see it, to make driver training a required course.The opponents of this idea have (9) that providing driver training for every student would be very (10) and that the (11) would not be worth the price. It is true that the course would be costly. Our town school board has estimated that in order to provide driver training for every high school student, they would need at least two more full-time instructors and two additional training cars, as well as (12) lab space and equipment. (13) the course of this program would be large, it must be (14) against the much greater cost—both in money and in human suffering—of continuing to allow inexperienced and poorly trained people to join the ranks of licensed drivers. An effective drive-training program would certainly be worth the (15).

Information is the primary commodity in more and more industries today.By 2005, 83% of American management personnel will be knowledge workers, Europe and Japan are not far behind.By 2005, half of all knowledge worker (22% of the labour force) will choose “flextime, flexplace” arrangements, which allow them to work at home, communication with the office via computer networks.In the United States, the so-called “digital divide” seems to be disappearing. In early 2000, a poll found, that, where half of white households owned computers, so did fully 43% of African-American households, and their numbers were growing rapidly. Hispanic households continued to lag behind, but their rate of computer ownership was expanding as well.Company-owned and industry-wide television networks are bringing programming to thousands of locations. Business TV is becoming big business.Computer competence will approach 100% in US urban areas by the year 2005, with Europe and Japan not far behind.80% of US homes will have computers in 2005, compared with about 50% now.In the United States, 5 of the 10 fastest-growing careers between now and 2005 will be computer related. Demand for programmers and systems analysts will grow by 70%. The same trend is accelerating in Europe, Japan, and India.By 2005, nearly all college texts and many high school and junior high books will be tried to Internet sites that provide source material, study exercises, and relevant news articles to aid in learning. Others will come with CD-ROMs that offer similar resources.Internet links will provide access to the card catalogues of all the major libraries in the world by 2005. It will be possible to call up on a PC screen millions of volumes from distant libraries. Web sites enhance books by providing pictures, sound, film clips, and flexible indexing and search utilities.Implications: Anyone with access to the Internet will be able to achieve the education needed to build a productive life in an increasingly high-tech world. Computer learning may even reduce the growing American prison population.Knowledge workers are generally better paid than less-skilled workers. Their wealth is raising overall prosperity.Even entry-level workers and those in formerly unskilled position require a growing level of education. For a good career in almost any field, computer competence is a must. This is one major trend raising the level of education required for a productive role in today’s work force. For many workers the opportunity for training is becoming one of the most desirable benefits any job can offer.1. Information technology is expected to have impact on all the following EXCEPT .2. “digital divide” in the 4th paragraph refers to .3. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT according to the passage?4. Which of the following areas is NOT discussed in the passage?5. At the end of the passage, the author seems to emphasize __ in an increasingly high-tech world.

Women’s minds work differently from men’s. At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of frustration or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or worse.There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectual processes—the link between the two halves of the brain.The two halves are linked by a trunkline of between 200 and 300 million nerves, the corpus callosum. Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in nerve fibres than it is in men. This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men and it must have some significance. The question is “What?”, and if this difference exists, are there others? Research shows that present-day women think differently and behave differently from men. Are some of these differences biological and inborn, a result of evolution? We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences. But could we be wrong?Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. For most people, the left half is used for word-handling, analytical and logical activities; the right half works on pictures, patterns and forms. We need both halves working together. And the better the connections, the more harmoniously the two halves work. And, according to research findings, women have the better connections.But it isn’t all that easy to explain the actual differences between skills of men and women on this basis. In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at “language subject” and boys better at maths and physics. If these differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunkline, there is an unalterable distinction between the sexes.We shall not know for a while, partly because we don’t know of any precise relationship between abilities in school subjects and the functioning of the two halves of the brain, and we cannot understand how the two halves interact via the corpus callosum. But this striking difference must have some effect and, because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect, we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing.1. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?2. According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by factors.3.“these differences” in paragraph 5 refer to those in .4. At the end of the passage the author proposes more work on __.5. What is the main purpose of the passage?

The Welsh language has always been the ultimate market of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx, once widely spoken on the Isle of Man but now extinct. Governments financing and central planning, however, have helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and official public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are required to learn both languages. Welsh is now one of the most successful of Europe’s regional languages, spoken by more than a half-million of the country’s three million people.The revival of the language, particularly among young people, is part of a resurgence of national identity sweeping through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of the people and wealth, England has always had bragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by Tony Blair, was designed to give the other members of the club—Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales—a bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union.The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a turnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. The Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws. But now that it is here, the Welsh are growing to like their Assembly. Many people would like it to have more powers, its importance as figurehead will grow with the opening in 2003, of a new debating chamber, one of many new buildings that are transforming Cardiff from a decaying seaport into a Baltimore-style waterfront city. Meanwhile a grant of nearly two million dollars from the European Union will tackle poverty. Wales is one of the poorest regions in Western Europe—only Spain, Portugal, and Greece have a lower standard of living.Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about great Welsh men and women, boosting self-esteem. To familiar faces such as Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton have been added new icons such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, the movie star, and Bryn Terfel, the opera singer. Indigenous foods like salt marsh lamb are in vogue. And Wales now boasts a national airline. Awyr Cymru. Cymru, which means “land of compatriots,” is the Welsh name for Wales. The red dragon, the nation’s symbol since the time of King Arthur, is everywhere—on T-shirts, rugby jerseys and even cell phone covers.“Until very recent times, most Welsh people had this feeling of being second-class citizens,” said Dyfan Jones, an 18-year-old student. It was a warm summer night, and I was sitting on the grass with a group of young people in Llanelli, an industrial town in the south, outside the rock music venue of the National Eisteddfod, Wales’s annual cultural festival. The disused factory in front of us echoed to the sounds of new Welsh bands.“There was almost a genetic tendency for lack of confidence,” Dyfan continued. Equally comfortable in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think. We can’t do anything, we’re only Welsh. Now I think that’s changing.”1. According to the passage, devolution was mainly meant to .2. The word “centrifugal” in the second paragraph means .3. Wales is different from Scotland in all the following aspects EXCEPT .4. Which of the following is NOT cited as an example of the resurgence of Welsh national identity?5. According to Dyfan Jones what has changed is .
